Overview
Brief Summary
This is a prospective, single-center study. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of offline computational ultrasonic flow ratio (UFR) with conventional pressure wire-based fractional flow reserve (FFR) as the standard reference. The study will be conducted in Fuwai Hospital, and a total of 408 patients with coronary vessel diameter stenosis ≥30% and ≤80% are planned to be recruited. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria and do not meet the exclusion criteria will undergo intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) followed by FFR examination. IVUS imaging will be sent to an independent core laboratory for UFR calculation. UFR analyses were performed offline in a blinded fashion without awareness of FFR measurement. Using FFR≤0.80 as the gold standard, the sensitivity and specificity of UFR in the functional significance of coronary artery stenosis will be analyzed.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Sensitivity and specificity of UFR in predicting functionally significant coronary stenosis at the patient level, using FFR as the reference standard
Time Frame: Immediately after the procedure
Sensitivity is defined as the proportion of UFR ≤ 0.80 in patients with hemodynamically-significant stenosis as measured by FFR (FFR ≤ 0.80); specificity is defined as the proportion of UFR \> 0.80 in patients without hemodynamically-significant stenosis as measured by FFR (FFR \> 0.80).
Secondary Outcomes
- The AUC of UFR for coronary stenosis with FFR as the gold standard(Immediately after the procedure)
- Sensitivity and specificity of UFR in predicting functionally significant coronary stenosis at the vessel level, using FFR as the reference standard(Immediately after the procedure)
- Diagnostic accuracy of UFR in predicting functionally significant coronary stenosis at the patient level, using FFR as the reference standard(Immediately after the procedure)
